AIFIRST AI Didn't Erase the Junior Engineer's Value, It Increased It
The brief
Francisco Trindade argues that AI tools have raised rather than eliminated the value of junior engineers by reducing the senior time needed to train and onboard them.
Key points
- Junior engineers who started their careers with AI tools are, the author contends, better positioned to leverage those tools than their seniors.
- One concrete example given is an intern who independently led a long-requested feature from conception to delivery.
